because when the vehicle falls off a bottle jack your screwed.. jack is most times stuck under vehicle..
falls off bumper jack you still can get at jack and bumper to relift them..
when used correctly they are safe.. the fail is when the jackie lifts both tires off ground.. and a big rig goes by.. and rocks it off the jack..
